Re: Zen Hall

After my last computer and it's webcam went dead I stopped sitting with the hall, but I have my new pair up and running now so I'll check it out soon. When I was using it I had the same basic problem as other folks as it would time out if I had just one window open.

Re: Zen Hall

I realize that I am not a "known" member of this sangha because I generally lurk here and do not post, but I might like to begin sitting with you in the zen hall and have been having problems getting into the site. It just does not seem to work for me; I am using a rather new MacBook in my attempts to connect. If anyone has a suggestion for getting this connected or would like to work with me on this, please feel free to contact me off-forum at laurazen@aol.com

Re: Zen Hall

_/_ thank you. I did read that but it doesn't really help, unfortunately. I just don't get an image at all. I see a small, light blue box with yellow words in three corners which I seem to be tied to the A/V functions, but I don't have any video coming in. It could be that I'm sending video out, but I don't see anything in the box that would indicate I'm connected to the virtual room. Maybe that's how it works if only one person is there?

Anyway, help would be... helpful I am gearing up to start regular sitting again after a too-long hiatus, and I like the tone of this group and its focus on fusing as a sangha promoting standard practice in the Soto tradition.

Re: Zen Hall

Hi Laura

sounds like you're in the room but your webcam isn't working. One blue square means you're in the room on your own but not trasmitting a picture you should see you in the square, if there was more than you you'd see a square with each other person in.

Found this for mac's on mebeam help...

Q: I am a Mac user and why does my USB webcam not work in Mebeam?
A: If using an USB webcam, click the Settings control at the top right corner and click
the small webcam tab, and make sure that the 'usb-class' webcam is selected.
